Lots of tools I don’t own because I don’t work on cars. But I do have thousands of dollars of tools from working on ARs. However, a lot of those tools are specialized and can’t be used for anything but ARs and of the tools I have that could be used for other tasks I still won’t use for anything but gunsmithing projects.

If you work alone get lots of clamps. They are like spare hands.
Any power tool set is a good place to start. If you do auto work add 3/8 and 1/2 impacts. Large socket set. Basic plier set. Outside that I think you start getting in to specialized tools. |

A phone to call the handyman
 If I started over I'd probably get a 3/8 socket set, 11 in 1, strippers, 10" cobra pliers, 10" pliers wrench, hammer, keyhole saw, tape measure, the Klein multi bit security screwdriver, a multimeter, hacksaw, Japanese saw, punch set, some files, and a drill/impact combo kit with some bits and drivers. I'm sure there's stuff I'm forgetting that I'd want but I likely use this stuff the most I do maintenance work all day and would rather not do tons of stuff outside work so I'd keep my personal set as simple as I can for yearly tasks and not take on projects within reason. |

I started my own tool collecting at 17/18 when I first really started wrenching on my own truck.
Got a craftsman box and top chest. I think a screwdriver set was my first purchase for the new box (still have them after all these years). Followed by a small craftsman, pliers, dyke, etc etc. As time went on I found I was buying what was needed for the job. The rest is history. I still buy the tool needed for the job if I don't have it. My first big jump into battery power tool is a Makita 18v impact for uses on a 89 XJ. Impact still running like a champ to this day! |

I guess you didn't read the manual. That, or maybe the manufacturer is wrong. Which is it? The tester WILL nOT detect voltage if: • the wire is shielded. • the operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective earth ground. • the voltage is DC. • The tester MAY nOT detect voltage if: • the user is not holding the tester. • the user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials. • the wire is partially buried or in a grounded metal conduit. • the tester is at a distance from the voltage source. • the field created by the voltage source is being blocked, dampened, or otherwise interfered with. • the frequency of the voltage is not a perfect sine wave between 50 and 500Hz. • the tester is outside of operation conditions (listed in Specifications section). • Operation may be affected by differences in socket design and insulation thickness and type. • In bright light conditions, the LED visual indicators will be less visible. • Do not use if green LED is not illuminated. • Do not use if tester appears damaged or if the tester is not operating properly. If in doubt, replace the tester. • Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the tester (1000 volts AC). • Detection above 50V is specified under “normal” conditions as specified below. The tester may detect at a different threshold at different conditions, or may not detect at all unless: • The tip of the tester is within 0.25” of an AC voltage source radiating unimpeded. • The user is holding the body of the tester with his or her bare hand. • The user is standing on or connected to earth ground. • The air humidity is nominal (50% relative humidity). • The tester is held still. ETA: Yes, even low humidity can cause them to not detect voltage. I'm actually an OLD electrician, and I didn't get that way by accident. Good luck to you. |

Work brings skills. Projects enhance them.
When you do the project yourself, the tools end up being free and your overall savings can be significant. This of course assumes a project that is home shop doable without computers or milling machines. I changed spark plugs recently and saved $300. I already had the tools. |

And a DMM won't detect voltage if the battery is dead, so what? If you are really that old, then you know better. Inductive current sensors have been used in automation over 30 years now. Anything can fail, even your Fluke. I'll admit the wigglers are not allowed for us anymore....DMM only. But for homeowners, they are just fine. My cheap stud finder even has an inductive sensor to keep you from drilling into a circuit. Outlet testers are great for homeowners, very useful and easy way to identify breakers. Wire tracers are worth their weight in gold too, and they are cheap. If you are worried about getting lit up, you are already doing it wrong. Arc flash for everything over 110. Glad I don't do field work anymore. The lawyers have ruined all the fun. Not everything is life and death. To say they are all just garbage is short sighted, and wrong.

I think I may invent an app that does not allow you to call someone to come to your house to do easy projects or fixes. Hence forcing people to learn how to do stuff.
I have a bunch of co-workers that pay ridiculous amounts of money calling contractors and handyman outfits to do some pretty easy stuff. Grass cutting too. Im blown at at how much people pay to have someone else cut their grass, then say they “don't have time”, while they are spending all weekend watching sports on their 85” television… |
